   I am gradually moving laptop...netbook...eventully desktop from Ub. to MX.   
   Very smooth learning curve, some advantages, some disadvantages.   
   On Ubuntu I have been running for about  year with no snap or flatpak. If only   
   I could avoid the horror that is systemd.   
   We are supposed to have choice, but to choose 'no systemd' immediately implies   
   'not Ubuntu'   
   Pity 'bout that.
